It's political philosophy kino.
Arendt is a good writer, and she exhaustively lays out the roots of how totalitarianism came to be founded.

No, it's a huge amount of shit. She comes at it from a very classical liberal perspective, and is a big fan of the Horseshoe Theory (although she doesn't mention it by name). Don't buy it, find a PDF online so you can see how crap it is for yourself
